Martha has been the right strategic advisor at the right time to help us improve our growth trajectory. While keeping a sharp focus on our mission, Martha helped us define key customer segments and create targeted campaigns to reach them. She helped us distill a handful of key metrics to measure the effectiveness of the campaigns and the ongoing health of our company. She is a pleasure to work with, knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and trustworthy.

My partner and I, two artists with minimal knowledge of the business world, started our business 9 years ago. By year 9, we were struggling with our growth and vision. Martha changed all of that for us! She gave us a mini business school experience and opened our eyes to the power and knowledge of numbers! She also encouraged us to think outside of the box on ways to monetize our endless creativity and energy. Martha was a total game changer!
